COM FER UN OVNI
A minga chilota is made to move houses; it seems impossible, which is why it feels magical. It's a task that takes several days, where the entire town gathers and collaborates. The strength of oxen, bulls, or even a boat is used to move the house, while the hosts prepare a feast in gratitude. Like in a *minga*, a UFO lands anywhere, bringing with it the materials, tools, and technology to create an unidentified flying object, but just like in the Chilote *mingas*, it requires the help of the whole community.
The imagination surrounding extraterrestrial life and the vastness of our universe offers an open field, an experience detached from the conditions of daily life yet not far from it. To build a UFO, we need to open a gap between the physical or real aspect of a collective construction and the achievable or speculative nature of the common imagination. Can we talk about sightings of unidentified objects in the darkness of rural skies, share paranormal phenomena, ancestral knowledge or techniques, while at the same time trying together to build a life-size unidentified flying object?

Être Ciel
Être Ciel is an installation-performance where spectators and dancers evolvesimultaneously in space to compose a landscape common choreographic. Everyspectator is invited to activate a song of bird from his smartphone by connectingon an internet platform. Every phone becomes an autonomous sound source thatthe viewer spatializes where he chooses to take square. The songs interact witheach other in space, overlap, intersect where stop as they could do it in the naturalstate. Each bird corresponds to a dancer and at each song, a choreographicsequence, developed upstream by the dancers themselves. At dusk, the awakeningof the songs allows the dance to exist and movements, to dialogue and tomigrate on the bodies to become at times, a common body. By putting resourcesinto play we have momentarily, we are looking for the conditions of an ecosystemand an ecology specific to the fields of choreography. The presence of everyonebecomes necessary in the construction and maintenance of the room, thanks towhich language can travel on the bodies he passes through.
